Weighing Questions Before Gathering Responses | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hello,  

Is there a way to apply weights to questions?

My colleague and I have built a survey to measure performance as it relates to  certain KPIs for vendors. In our survey, each of the 5 KPIs we are measuring has its own block,  each containing 3-4 questions with multiple choice answers. I understand there is the ability to apply weight after the fact; however, I am looking for a way to apply weights to the questions themselves before responses are gathered. 

For example: the KPI with it’s related questions in block 1 would carry more importance (weight) than the questions in blocks 2-5 or vice-versa. The idea being that we could apply weight to the questions, but also not have answers in one of the other block be skewed in overall survey results. 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated - thank you!

You can use Scoring to apply weight before getting response, although you have to do it from scratch
